Hello everyone!

Nice to be here. I have a 2009 Pontiac Vibe AWD.

However it's been giving me some troubles.

Tonight on my way to and from work I noticed that when I turn my steering wheel all the way both ways my stereo turns of and then on again and my lights are flickering. I am wondering if this could be my alternator, battery or some other wiring issue.

Any feedback is greatly appreciated 🙏

Welcome. If you have radio control buttons on the steering wheel, the problem is probably in the "clockspring" cable. It looks like you can get them for around $50. A DIYer who's comfortable working with the air bag can easily replace it. Be sure to use the VIN to order the correct part. There are a lot of variations of steering wheel buttons on these cars.
